The Government Performance Index, developed by Good Governance Africa, looked at South Africa's best and worst performing municipalities. The research measures how local government resources are being allocated, and helps identify problem areas.

The performance of 230 local and metropolitan municipalities was measured across 3 categories, namely administration, economic development and service delivery indicators.

The bottom ranked municipalities are all located in former homelands of Zululand and Pondoland, while the top performing
municipalities are in the historically wealthier areas.
